Answer:
154,897 REGISTERED LABRADOR RETRIEVERS WERE THERE
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the statement: IN 1999, THERE WERE 9860 GREAT DANES REGISTERED WITH THE AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB.
Also, THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED LABRADOR RETRIEVERS WAS 6997 MORE THAN FIFTEEN TIMES THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED GREAT DANES
Let x represents the number of Great Danes registered and y represents the number of Labrador retrievers registered.
The statement:
"Fifteen times the number of registered great Danes " means 15x
and
"6997 more than fifteen times the number of registered great Danes" means 15x + 6997
then as per the given statement:
x = 9860 .
To solve for y;
y = 15x+ 6997
Substitute the value of x we get;
Simplify:
y = 154,897
Therefore, the registered Labrador Retrievers were there are; 154,897
